Die Sängerin von The Knife tobt sich mit Fever Ray aus, Strokes-Bassist Nicolai Fraiture mit Nickel Eye und Omar Rodriguez-Lopez veröffentlicht gleich drei Solo-Alben. Der Nachfolger zum Instant-Klassiker "Silent Shout" lässt weiterhin auf sich warten. Angeblich arbeiten The Knife gegenwärtig an einer Oper über das Leben von Charles Darwin. Bereits Ende März gibt es allerdings neue Töne von der einen Hälfte des schwedischen Elektronik-Duos: Sängerin Karin Dreijer Andersson veröffentlicht am 23.3. das Debüt ihres Solo-Projekts Fever Ray. Der Vorgeschmack "If I Had A Heart", den man sich auf MySpace [...]

With the closing of GSL , Omar Rodriguez Lopez was suddenly left without a home label for his many side projects. Not that he wouldn't have plenty of suiters, but aside from providing a geographical fit, Stones Throw is probably the only label that Lopez could sonically slide seamlessly onto. Omar Rodriguez Lopez's Old Money is the first album that The Mars Volta guitarist/producer/writer/arra nger will release with Stones Throw, officially hitting the streets on January 27, 2009. Claiming to be "the most [...]
Progressive rock, like hip-hop or country, is an extremely divisive genre. For the unconverted, all songs sound the same and are cause for much head scratching. For the faithful, it's music that is interesting and inspiring and everything in between. Prog-rockers The Mars Volta headlined one night of this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival, and judging by the murmurs of festival goers, the division holds true. I heard people describe the band's set as the highlight of the weekend and the greatest show they'd ever seen. Others compared them to amped up garbage and left [...]

They are: Se Dice Bisonte, No Bufalo Omar Rodriguez Lopez & Lydia Lunch The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange Calibration (Is Pushing Luck and Key Too Far) Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & Jeremy Michael Ward Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead Old Money [...]
Anyone who has been in a National Park in the past few years knows what I'm talking about. The title, Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead , makes me laugh. Then cry. From Wiki : Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead is a mostly instrumental record by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez released by Willie Anderson Recordings. Recorded in 2001-2002, shortly after completing the Tremulant EP, the album was initially made available only to friends on minidisc format.

If you've heard Omar Rodriguez Lopez then you've heard intricate experimental rock improv and EPIC SHREDDING.

Omar Alfredo Rodiguez-Lopez is set to release on January his CD Old Money on Stone Throw records. You may remember Omar from this little band called Mars Volta , well now you can continue your ever so fun acid trip with some more music to accompany it. The first single is called "Private Fortune" and is as psychedelic as it is expected. Omar Lopez - Private Fortunes Now continuing with the Mars Volta theme, another member of the band has been busy making music Ikey Owens which normally takes care [...]

Warning : parse_url( http://) [ function.parse-url ]: Unable to parse url in /home/.needle/nialler9/nialler 9.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/ local-analytics/local-analytic s.php on line 123 News has reached today that the crazy one out of Mars Volta .. (scratch that.. they're all crazy surely), Omar Lopez will release Old Money on the largely hip-hop label Stones Throw in late January. The album is available digitally . It's probably not that surprising considering Omar contributed to El-P's recent output. The first song we [...]
This is his fourth album released by The Mars Volta guitarist. The first album that will be release through Stones Throw. It is titled "Old Money". The album hase been described as having "a familiar blend of Floydian ambience, Santana spirit-jamming, and French prog-rock aesthetics, all put to tape by Rodriguez-Lopez and a number of musicians that have contributed to the Mars Volta war cabinet in the past". The album is also said to be the most accessible of all the albums he has released this year. It is out now on digital format. The tracklisting for the album is [...]
Omar Rodríguez-López has never had a problem finding ways to blow one's mind away with extroverted guitar solos and his definitely drug-induced experimental rock sound even when without his main outfit, The Mars Volta. Albeit much less publicized, the Puerto Rican guitarist also has quite the solo career to his name - in just the last two years alone, Rodríguez-López has released seven, count 'em seven, solo efforts. Yesterday, he made it eight with the digital release of Old Money . Originally planned to be released as the follow up to The Mars Volta's 2006 [...]

Ok, I know this is my billionth Mars Volta post lately and you're probably getting tired of my hype, but TMV is coming to Atlanta in April and I'm pretty excited about that. There doesn't seem to be any sort of official word yet, but Ticketmaster has a presale going on tomorrow and general public tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am. Check it out here . Also, it may just be a misprint, but the NY Times included TMV in their Bonnaroo line-up . Here's a couple tracks off Omar [...]
With Cedric singing on a few of the tracks (and appearances from other members of The Mars Volta, including recently-departed drummer Jon Theodore), Omar's "solo" record Se Dice Bisonte, No Búfalo plays very much like a collection of MV outtakes (it even has a chilled-out version of a new MV track "Goliath", which is here entitled "Rapid Fire Tollbooth" - I suspect this version came first, and served as a sketch for the MV rendition). But there's a bit more headspace twinkled in between the actual tunes than usual. This album, one of [...]
Hey woah! Check out the new image! I know it's awesome... you can thank me later. But right now we've got some sweet tracks to cover. Uhh.... yeah lets get started. "Welcome Home," the second single off of Coheed and Cambria 's album " Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness " absolutely blew me away. Claudio and Travis both blew me away with their guitar abilities and composing on this track. Here's the acoustic version from the iTunes Exclusive, enjoy. Coheed & Cambria - [...]
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez - Boiling Death Request a Body to Rest Its Head On (GSL 2007) Omar Rodriguez-Lopez – Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo / GSL Over at Reckless Records, I am always surprised at how consistently we keep Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's first solo project, 2004's A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack, Vol. 1 , in stock. It is a decent album (supposedly the soundtrack to an uncompleted/never-released film of the same name) of ambient psychedelic guitar noodles released at the peak of The Mars Volta's popularity. I'm not [...]
Okay, looks like the boss have given me 30 seconds of free time today, which means I'll throw in a post, but it's gonna be quick. There's a record I've been meaning to talk about, and it seems to be going unnoticed in a lot of circles. Then again, I'm not completely surprised. Allow me to (briefly) explain: since the masterpiece of their first album, The Mars Volta have become something of an obscurity in most circles because of their increasingly psychedelic "jam" sessions that are incredibly strange and progressive in nature. They've kind of alienated their audience [...]
